Hi, Just though I'd throw my info on the table. I use a headless FreeBSD box and an Amiga as an X server (slightly unique). I'm also unable to run applets. The first time I try to run an applet I get the "unable to allocate background color" error and from there on it doesn't even bother to load any applets. This would seem to indicate that either the Xserver I am using has the same problem as the FreeBSD X server or there is something else in the pot. My system is 2.1-release 486/33 16meg. My Amiga's running a x server I've had for a while. Probably X11R5. Hope this helps. Geoff. On Sat, 30 Mar 1996, Sujal Patel wrote: > On Sat, 30 Mar 1996, Marc G.
